Frank Gaebelein (1899-1983) was a key figure in the twentieth-century evangelical movement. His greatest impact was felt in the area of Christian education, but he was active in many other issues of concern to evangelicals, ...
Construction and calibration of a custom time-of-flight mass spectrometer and its use in measuring the reaction kinetics of transition metal ion-organic interactions.
(2009-09-03)
A unique instrument was constructed and used to generate and interrogate jet cooled neutrals, ions and their respective clusters. The instrument is a result of the artful marriage of supersonic expansions combined with ...
Iris Murdoch's genealogy of the modern self : retrieving consciousness beyond the linguistic turn.
(2008-10-15)
In this dissertation I argue that Murdoch’s philosophical-ethical project is best understood as an anti-Enlightenment genealogical narrative. I maintain that her work consistently displays four fundamental features that ...

In 1998 Calvary Baptist Church, in Waco, Texas, appointed Julie Pennington-Russell: the first female Baptist pastor in Texas. This thesis will show the dynamic relationship between the conservative and moderate Baptist ...
Analysis of inflammatory changes in human pancreatic islet cells.
(2009-02-27)
Pancreatic islet cell transplantation is a promising investigational research treatment for labile type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, several obstacles still exist to the implementation of clinical islet cell transplantation ...
Chemical toxicity distributions in aquatic toxicology : relative sensitivities of estrogenicity assays and ecotoxicity of parabens in model freshwater organisms.
(2008-12)
A probabilistic ecological hazard assessment technique, chemical toxicity distributions, was used to examine the relative sensitivities of in vitro and in vivo assays for detecting estrogenicity, and to assess the hazards ...
Teleological moral realism : an explication and defense.

Contemporary moral realists assume that goodness is a property susceptible to Kripkean/Putnamian developments in philosophy of language and metaphysics. However, close attention to the actual use of the term ‘good’ reveals ...
Electrical resistivity imaging for characterizing dynamic hydrologic systems.
(2008-10-01)
Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) is widely used in hydrogeophysical studies for monitoring spatiotemporal variations in hydrologic properties and processes. Its applications to hydrologic settings found in sandy and ...
Hierarchical stability based model selection for clustering algorithms.
(2009-09-09)
We present an algorithm called HS-means, which is able to learn the number of clusters in a mixture model based on the hierarchical analysis of clustering stability. Our method extends the concept of clustering stability ...
